“Heroes of Faith” Drama Performance

Join Connection Church in welcoming the Drama Ministries Ensemble from Northwestern College for their spring break tour.  We are honored to have them with us March 4th at 7:00pm to perform this year’s Stories of Faith drama “Heroes of Faith”. 

Questions and Answers:

Who is DME? What do we do?
Drama Ministries Ensemble, DME, is a “performance group emphasizing preparation of scripts for presentation in worship services and worship-related settings.” We are an ensemble of actors who seek to bring glory to God by sharing Scripture with others in the form of storytelling theatre. We meet three times per week to read devotionals and pray, rehearse our scenes, and prepare for our upcoming performances. (https://www.nwciowa.edu/theatre/programs)

Who is NWC?
“Northwestern is a Christian college that is Reformed in commitment, evangelical in engagement, and ecumenical in spirit. We view these Christian theological perspectives as complementary and draw from the strengths of each perspective in fulfilling our mission.” What makes us stand out is our commitment to integrating faith into every area of our lives, specifically, education and learning.

A summary of the performances we are offering:
Stories of Faith is a collection of Bible stories about the “Heroes of the Faith” mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11. We tell the stories of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Rahab, with the words of Hebrews 11 connecting the stories.

What is DME tour?
Every year during spring break DME goes on tour, performing all over the U.S. and internationally. When we tour, we hope to serve churches and other organizations by performing the material that we have prepared, and share with them the passion for storytelling that God has given each of us. We then ask churches to provide a meal and homes for us to stay the night in. This year DME is travelling through Nebraska to Denver and Colorado Springs, then coming back through Kansas, and we are looking for churches who would like to host us for a performance in those areas, as well as on our way to and from Colorado. Our group this year consists of 6 students and the director.

What can Connection Church do to help?
Connections Church will need to provide dinner served at church at 5:30 on Monday, March 4th. We also need to find overnight hosts for 9 people (at least two per home) for Monday night. The overnight host just needs to provide them a place to sleep, breakfast in the morning and get them back to church by 9:00am on Tuesday.  Please talk to Kim Crane if you are able to help.
